INTRODUCTION TO STAIRCASE
Stairs are the medium through which a person can travel from one horizontal level to
another horizontal level .
Why do we need stairs ?

To protect people from injury and to facilitate
access during movement from one level to
another in a building.
Based on type of Material

1. Wooden Stair
2. Stone Stair
3. Steel Stair
4. Reinforced Concrete Stair
5. Brick stair
COMPONENTS OF STAIRCASE
1. STEP : It is a portion of stair which permits ascent &
descent.
2. TREAD : It is the upper horizontal portion of step upon
which the feet is placed.
3. RISER :The vertical portion between each tread on
the stair.
4. HANDRAIL : A handrail is a rail that is designed to be
grasped by the hand so as to provide stability or
support
5. BALUSTER : It is vertical member of wood or metal
supporting the handrail.
6. NEWEL POST : This is the vertical member which is
placed at the ends of flights to connect handrail .
7. RUN : It is the total length of stairs in a horizontal plane,
including landings.
8. NOSING : It is the projecting part of the tread beyond
the face of the riser. It is usually rounded to give
good architectural effect.
9. STRING OR STRINGERS : These are the sloping wooden
members which support the steps in a stair .They run
along the slope of the stair.

TYPES OF STAIRCASE
1. Straight Stair
2. Dog legged Stair
3. Quarter turn Stair
4. Open newel Stair
5. Three quarter turn Stair
6. Bifurcated Stair
7. Geometrical Stair
8. Circular Stair
Straight Stair
•These are the stairs along which there is
no change in direction on any flight.
•It is used where stair case hall is long and

narrow
Dog legged Stair
•It consists of two straight flights of steps with

abrupt turn between them. A level landing is
placed across the two flights at the change of
direction.
•This type of stair is useful where the width of

the staircase hall is just sufficient to
accommodate the width of stair.
Quarter turn Stair
•A stair turning through one right angle is known as
quarter turn stair.
•The change in direction can be affected by either

introducing a landing or by providing winders.
Open newel Stair
•In these type of stair there is a well or opening between

the flights in plan.
•This well may be rectangular or of any geometrical

shape and it can be used for fixing lift.
Three Quarter Turn Stair :
A stair turning through right angles is known
as three quarter turn stair.
•In this case an open well is formed.
Bifurcated Stair
•This stair is so arranged that there is a
wide flight at the start which is further sub-
divided into two narrow flights at the mid-
landing.
•The two narrow flight starts from either

side of the mid-landing.
•These stairs are suitable for modern sub

building.
Geometrical Stair
•These stairs are of any geometrical shape.
•The change in direction is achieved through

winders.
•The stairs require more skill for its construction and

are weaker than open newel stair.
Spiral or Circular Stair

It is known as spiral stair.
When viewed from top it appears to follow a circle

with a single centre of curvature.
The spiral stairs are provided where space

available is limited and traffic is low.
These stairs can be constructed in R.C.C., Steel or

Stone
